The game doesn't allow racist and anti-LGBTQ+ slurs?!? WOKE.

I think they are mad because scrabble removed some slurs from the allowed words.

  I’ve played Scrabble for decades and I didn’t even know there were any slurs allowed. Never in any game I have ever played do I remember a slur. Not even when playing against a computer. That’s how “woke” they’ve made this new version!
  
  Edit: After some searching, I found out that they only banned the N-word in tournament play in 2020. What the fuck, Hasbro? https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/scrabble/news/scrabble-community-bans-offensive-words

    I can guarantee they didn’t know it was allowed either.

      Right. lol
      
      They never needed that rule before.
      
      I aspire to be the reason a new rule is made.

    In fairness, I doubt it came up much… Most people don’t like to use slurs in public
